It's a thing! I get very disturbed and poor quality sleep after boozes nowadays πŸ˜ͺOccasionally I'll just accept it's going to happen and have a couple but I'm mostly teetotal now because of this!

Berk is such an underused insult. Bring back berk!

Yeah, by no definition is Mark Carney remotely on the left. But I guess the Overton Window has moved so far to the right, he kinda looks like it.

Hopefully a wake up call to not keep your phone, cards and cash in the same place?? Glad the city held you up :)

Totally agree - more importantly MPs MUST be subject to certain corporate norms like HR Management and data protection practices, etc. There are no sanctions at all for running a shitty consituence office or harassing your staff or anything.

I wrote to my MP recently and when she replied the staffer clearly hadn't read my letter at all and the stock answer was the opposite of what I'd asked. Frustrating

*breathes* These fucking people. I work with someone who is "vaccine hesitant" and it's all I can do not to scream into their face about how misguided and stupid they are.

Semantic ablation: Why AI writing is boring and dangerous opinion: The subtractive bias we're ignoring

This feels like something I've been wanting to articulate for a long time but couldn't name it - the race to the dull, boring, functional middle. Semantic ablation. Spot on.

Husbeast is a fantastic DJ, has done some epic tunes over the years. Most modern DJs are also producers, of course.

Oh it's stone cold jealousy, this one. A great DJ, reacting to the crowd, is an absolute craftsperson. Sadly too many just switch on a recording or do a pre-planned set.

*additional* I know for some they'll be an accessibility boon e.g. blind people, and I hope that there's a way to make such devices available to all who will benefit, not just rich folks.

But let's face it, that's not why Meta are making them, nor why the vast majority of purchasers buy them.
